But it has to be done by Germans. Hollywood would never get it right!
You're wrong about their lack of Airborne ops though. There were several FJ combat jumps in the early part of the war in Belgium, Norway and Denmark.

A movie about Crete could be awesome if it presented the planning and battle from both sides like
Tora! Tora! Tora! did with Pearl Harbor.
And I said there weren't any other
large-scale airborne operations, the earlier drops rarely involved more than a company, and those that did usually failed as well (The Hague for example). It was only the smaller raids like Fort Eben-Emael and Operation Eiche that were true successes.
